More Than Just Inquire (Part Five)
Yu Fu left the palace with her head down but was stopped at the road by two military horses.

“Fifth brother, sixth brother, what have you two come for?”

“We came to pick you up. Today’s banquet was sure to be exceedingly boring, so we came to pick you up to play!”

A personal guard came up from behind with Yu Fu’s horse, and she pointed at Gu Xiang and Gu Yi, “Wasn’t it said that you two would be helping fourth brother in the manor? Since you’ve come out to play, won’t fourth brother be overwhelmed with work?”

Yu Fu smoothly climbed on her horse, “I’ll be going back to the manor first to help fourth brother. I can’t bully him like this.”

In the entirety of the manor, Gu Xiang and Gu Yi only dared to bully Gu WenQing. Who told him to be so kind?

Gu Xiang immediately took Yu Fu’s reins to stop her, “Little Yu Fu, don’t be in such a rush. In truth, we didn’t come out just to play. We also have proper work to attend to. Fourth brother has been busy in the manor, so he told us to go to Yu Shan Building to see how Yu Guan is doing. When second brother left, he also left Miss Yao Yue in Yu Guan’s care. While we are there, we will check up on Miss Yao Yue.”

Yu Fu nodded, “Alright, this can just barely be considered work. I just happen to be hungry, so let’s go and taste Yu Shan Building’s new dishes!”

Yu Fu had a good eye for talent, and Yu Guan was a good choice for a shopkeeper. Not only did he think of having performances to attract guests, but he also pushed the chefs to come up with new dishes.

Regardless of whether it was performances or dishes, the consistent rotation of fresh ideas naturally brought an endless line of guests.

Gu Yi laughed at her, “Good! Earlier, you were saying that Gu Xiang and I had just come out to play, but now, you’re clearly the one who’s feeling peckish and wants to eat some new dishes! Ah, that’s not it. Did you not eat your fill during today’s wedding banquet?”

Yu Fu had been given a fright by Yin Shuo, thinking that he really would ask Emperor Ning to cancel the wedding. How could she still have an appetite after that?

After that, she felt a little disappointed to see Yin Shuo not ask for the wedding to be canceled.

In this famous capital, one of the court’s young talents ended up deciding to ignore his feelings for the sake of rank and influence.

“You two have no idea just how strange the atmosphere of today’s wedding was. Who could be in the mood to eat after that? First, Princess DanYang and Prime Minister Yin acted like strangers…”

The three siblings rode along on their horses, as Yu Fu recounted what happened in the palace, and there were no shortages of gasps.

Behind them, a small group of guards from the Gu family’s army rode along to protect them. The citizens on the streets saw their group from far away and quickly moved to the side.

Some of these citizens recognized members of the Gu family army, “Hey, isn’t that Princess ZhenJiang? Those two would be young sirs from Marquis Gu’s Manor?”

Gu Yi angrily said: “It’s only been just over a year since little Yu Fu came to the capital, yet the citizens already recognize you. We grew up in the capital, yet nobody recognizes us!”

Gu Xiang self-mockingly said: “When eldest brother and second brother go out, it’s natural that everyone would recognize them, but it’s fine. In a few years, when we get to make contributions on the battlefield, we will also be recognized by others!”

“Ah, the two young sirs look exactly the same, so they must be the fifth and sixth young sirs. Did you not know? The youngest sons of Marquis Gu’s Manor are twins!”

The citizens’ voices very quickly reached their ears, and Yu Fu said with a smile: “Fifth brother and sixth brother are still luckier than third brother and fourth brother. They immediately know who you are when they see your faces. Looking the same also has its benefits!”

Otherwise, with Marquis Gu’s Manor having so many sons, how could the citizens recognize all of them?

They just needed to pick a couple of the important ones.

Gu Yi delightedly felt his face, “Saying it like this, it’s also true!”

The three stopped outside Yu Shan Building. Yu Guan had received a report beforehand and came out with Hong Zui and Lu Xiu, “Young miss, young sirs, you’ve finally arrived. Miss Yao Yue has been waiting in the third floor’s LanZi room for quite some time. It seems that she was quite worried.”

“Worried? Has she fully recovered from her illness?”

Gu Xiang had a stern expression, “When second brother left, he entrusted her to us. If something happened to her, how should we explain to second brother?”

Yu Guan furrowed his brow and thought back to Yao Yue’s complexion when she came and hastily shook his head, “That doesn’t seem to be the case. I don’t think anything is wrong with Miss Yao Yue’s health. It should be a personal matter. Please come upstairs. You will know when you see her.”

The three climbed the stairs, and Yu Fu took a peek when passing by the MeiZi room that Gu JiuGe usually used.

Walking ahead of her, Gu Yi immediately saw the LanZi room, “Little Yu Fu, what are you looking at? It’s over here.”

It turned out that the LanZi room was right next to the MeiZi room.

Pushing the door open, they found Yao Yue standing in the middle of the room with a hesitant look on her face, “I thought about it carefully, but there is something that might be unfavorable for Marquis Gu’s Manor. I should tell you guys about it.”

“Yin Shuo, that inhuman bastard, is even willing to abandon his own little sister? Young miss Yin is too pitiful, having that sort of father and elder brother!”

Gu Yi slapped the table multiple times, “It’s no wonder he still married Princess DanYang despite hating her. What is this sort of person not willing to do for the sake of power? Little Yu Fu, you must stay far away from him. Don’t let him hurt you!”

Yao Yue told everyone about what happened on that day between Chen ChuXiu and Yin JiYao, and Gu Xiang and Gu Yi took turns cursing Yin Shuo. She had gained quite a bit of information from the two.

“It turned out that the person that Prime Minister Yin really likes is young miss Yu Fu…”

Yu Fu furrowed her brow, “I already made things clear with him today. Surely, he won’t keep pursuing me after today. As for him having young miss Yin inquire about the cabinet, this is something that we must defend against.”

Gu Yi said: “He fears that his power will be reduced, so he inquires all over about the cabinet. This is within reason. Miss Yao Yue, why did you feel that this would be unfavorable for our Marquis Gu’s Manor?”

Yao Yue thought for a moment, “I can’t quite say for certain. It’s just intuition. I have a feeling that someone who can so coldly use their own sister will definitely use some underhanded tactics against Marquis Gu’s Manor. I am also worried that I am overthinking it, so I hesitated for a number of days but ultimately decided to tell you.”

“Yao Yue’s intuition is the same as mine.”

Yu Fu let out a long sigh, “Have you guys ever considered that if Yin Shuo only wanted to inquire about information pertaining to the cabinet, why would he be willing to use young miss Yin? Based on my understanding of him, what he wants to do is not inquire but…”

Gu Xiang threw out a guess: “Could it be… to have it destroyed?”

Author’s note: Can my little cuties guess what Yin Shuo will do after gaining information on the cabinet?
